(39) Rama's Extra Blueprint Nodes for You as a Plugin, No C++ Required!

[teak421]

Waiting for this to work in 4.18. I hope Rama gets some time to fix it soon, because it seems like no one else has figured it out yet...

I looked at it very briefly and realized it needed more time... I'm working on my plugin for 4.18 (and adding functionality)... I think a lot of folks who contribute to Rama's plugin are doing the same...

Hi Mewbits heres a 4.18 version of this plugin but some code has been commented out as i had no idea how to fix, its mainly VR functions and the Destroy Destructible Chunk function, apart from that everything will work as normal.

Rama

When you get time feel free to just fix what i have commented out DISABLED in the VictoryBPFunctionLibrary.h.

Here is a temp 4.18 version

Thank you for helping out! I should have fully functional BP library shortly.

Hi Rama, thank you for all your work in this amazing plugin! I have been attempting to use the "Load Texture 2D from File" and "Load Texture 2D from DDS File" blueprint nodes, which I believe are credited to n00854180t! so thanks for everyone's contributions. So far I have been able to get the Load Texture 2D from File to successfully load at runtime, however the DDS file does not seem to want to load. I was wondering if there is anything I am missing in my blueprint, or has anyone managed to get the dds to load?

Also, my end goal is to load a dds as a cubemap to be read by a stereo material. Currently the DDS file is converted into texture 2D. Is there any way to load the DDS as a cubemap? I have a fairly basic knowledge of C++ but I am willing to hear any advice/ideas. thanks!

Attached is a screenshot of the blueprints I'm working with, the bottom one is working successfully however I would like to get the top one to work if possible.

Welcome to the UE4 forums!!!

I don't know about loading direct into cubemap, hopefully someone in this thread knows how to do what you want and can answer

DDS is not supported by Epic's imagewrapper as far as I know, does it have to be DDS? You could pre-convert it via online tool?

Can we see what your base material looks like? I have a feeling that the "HotLoad_Texture2D" is a texture sampler and not a cubemap sampler. I'm compiling Rama's updates into my engine so I can't get into it to show you what I mean yet.

PS Rama, I spent most of the day updating the plugin to 4.18 but finished about an hour after Stormwind posted his commit. I had almost exactly the same changes, so it looks like a robust update to 4.18.

For the new 4.18 build, only 2 issues: A double include in VictoryBPFunctionLibrary.cpp since Stormwind and I both used

#include "HAL/PlatformApplicationMisc.h"

and you added

#include "Runtime/ApplicationCore/Public/HAL/PlatformApplcationMisc.h"

after that. Doesn't matter because of the #pragma once, but it is a duplicate. 2nd is a missing update of IImageWrapperPtr to the TSharedPtr<IImageWrapper> on 4606. I can post a pull request if you'd like.

Thanks for the update Rama.

I am trying to use the generic sort node to sort a custom struct array. The node has an input for the variable name of the struct but it doesn't seem to work. Is the variable name the same that is shown when breaking the struct or am I missing something?

Hi Rama, thank you for your reply! I am trying to hotload cubemaps as skyboxes for Gear VR, so I need UVs to map the image to the mesh. From what I know about dds. is that it retains UV coordinates for mapping to a cube. I believe another way to make a skybox without a dds cubemap is to have a UV coordinates stored in the cube mesh in the level. But maybe there is a better way of going about this?

Additionally, I am just trying to use the dds blueprint node correctly. Am I understanding right that the dds format is converted since it isn't supported by unreal?

Hey Cameron, I'm trying to load the image into a stereoscopic material for Gear VR. The parameter is needs to be a Texture2D in order to accept the output of the dds load node right?

Thanks!

The bind variables in any blueprint classes.

inside UMG is the ability to bind properties of your Widgets to Functions or Properties inside the Blueprint

It is very convenient to use.
I always use variables of the GameMode and Gameinstance(Custom). In UMG access to them is done perfectly. Is it possible to do the same for any blueprint classes? Would be wonderful if it were possible to make the binding two-way. When you how to get the value of the GameInstance to bind a variable in a GameInstance to the local. Know and use castto game instance, but if it was implemented as in UMG, it would be much more convenient.

Dear Cameron Abt ,

Oooh thank you for doing the update on your end as well! We'll see who does the 4.19 update first!!

Thanks for the note about line 4606, I will update github with that pretty soon (and for others) the fix will be in the next release of Victory BP

URGENT PACKAGE ERROR WITH VICTORY PLUGIN!!!

Hi there!
I'm using UE 4.17, VR Template.

You probably grabbed the 4.18 version of the plugin by mistake. Make sure you're using the version compiled for 4.17.

[KunalTyagi]

Using this plugin on Linux:

I'm using UE4.18 on Linux. I cloned the repo to `Engine/Plugins/Runtime`, and rebuilt the engine.
Apart from that, I also modified `VictoryBPLibrary.uplugin` to include "Linux" in the "WhitelistPlatforms".

Also did a PR
